You can shoot movies while recording
sound with the built-in monaural
microphone or an external stereo
microphone (commercially available).
You can also freely adjust the sound-
recording level.
Sound-recording settings are under
[z4: Sound recording] (the [z2] tab
in <A>).
Auto : The sound-recording level is adjusted automatically. Auto
level control will operate automatically in response to the
sound level.
Manual : For advanced users. You can adjust the sound-recording
level to one of 64 levels.
Select [Rec. level] and look at the level meter while
turning the <5> dial to adjust the sound-recording level.
Look at the peak hold indicator, and adjust so that the
level meter sometimes lights up on the right of the “12” (-
12 dB) mark for the loudest sounds. If it exceeds “0”, the
sound will be distorted.
Disable : Sound will not be recorded.
